RhB Class ABe 8/12 "Allegra" Powered Rail Car Train Model train

One-time special series.

The Allegra 3514 has a special paint scheme: One end car is in the yellow of the former Bernina Railroad, the other end car is in version of the Arosa Railroad – light blue / light gray, the middle car represents the Era III green/cream of the RhB. This powered rail car train called the "Ancestor Train" is underway on the RhB network in this design.

This is a model of an RhB class ABe 8/12 "Allegra", road number 3514, powered rail car train. The paint and lettering are prototypical for Era VI as the so-called "Ancestor Train", which represented the earlier paint scheme of the Bernina Railroad, the Rhaetian Railroad, and the Arosa Railroad. The model has traction tires and is driven on four wheelsets by two powerful motors. It has an mfx/DCC sound decoder with many sound and light functions. The pantographs can be raised and lowered digitally on both end cars. All the cars on the train have metal wheels, and the center car has wheelsets with ball bearings. All the doors can be opened. The model has many separately applied details such as conductors, plugs, windshield wipers, antennas, and rear-view mirrors. The model has sprung buffers and complete rail clearance devices (the center part of the rail clearance devices can be replaced with a standard LGB coupler that is included with the train). Length over the buffers 206 cm / 81-1/8".
